How to Choose the Right Tent for Your School Function

The School Environment Checklist

Schools in Uganda host a variety of functions, from graduation ceremonies and speech days to inter-house events and parents’ meetings. Tents for schools must prioritize three things: **capacity, durability, and safety.**

Marquee Tents for Major Ceremonies

For major annual events like graduation, a large **marquee tent** is almost always necessary to accommodate hundreds of students, staff, and parents. When purchasing, opt for a model with reinforced truss structures and high ceilings to provide adequate airflow and sight lines for the main stage. The structural integrity is key, as these tents may be used semi-permanently during peak seasons.

Dome Tents for Daily Use

For smaller, daily needs—like canteen overflow, temporary classroom space, or shade for the waiting area—**dome tents** are more practical. Their quick setup and takedown allow them to be relocated easily. Because school usage is frequent, ownership is far more cost-effective than constant renting. Focus on PVC that is easy to wash and can withstand continuous sun exposure.

Safety First

Always ensure the tents are securely anchored, especially if set up on paved surfaces. Local manufacturers like Eratent understand the safety requirements for institutional use and build their products with high-strength welding and structural support.
